No it should be ok. Take driving licence with you to ILR appointment / submit a copy with postal application. Third name is not a problem.

I have called the home office and they said my name should be exactly same as in my passport ... so now Im again confused !! ... they asked me to ask the test center to change my name and .. at the test center they said it is impossible to change name ! ... I think people at the home office dont know the rules good .. they always giv different answers to same queries ...

When I took my LiUK test in Brixton I was asked to check everything including name and driving license number. Normally, when you make a booking, you only give them a first and last name, which then goes into their system. In my situation, I added two initials so that it mirrors what's shown in my ID. I also had to initial the change.
